Vegas would be perfectly happy to have uneven action if it increased their overall expectations. The idea that a bookmaker would prioritize even action is essentially saying that they are willing to turn down a higher expected value. Does that sound like any casinos you know of? Generally speaking bets will tend to even out around the "true line" anyway, but if not the bookmakers would be totally fine with betting against the public. Maybe in some corner cases like the Superbowl or major prize fights there would be enough betting that they would play it a little safer, but in general they will maximize expected value.
Sportsbooks make their money from two things: 1) maximizing the total number of bets; 2) maximizing the expected value of each bet. Bookmakers are constantly seeking to maximize the combination of 1 and 2.
